Nokia has just sent out a few preliminary comments about the company's performance during the fourth quarter of 2012. Nokia's figures are a good indicator for how well Windows Phone 8 is doing, and, in all honesty, I'm not exactly blown away. Apparently, neither was Nokia itself, since the company decided to redefine their Asha phones from feature phone to smartphone to prop up their smartphone sales figures.

Let Tomi beside, the common expectation was 4.0 m sold units. 4.4 got sold. That differences includes in last quarter written off WP7 Lumia which are now sold for a penny. When Nokia not gives separated numbers for WP7 and WP8 Lumia in there report you know why. Anyhow, 3% market share, still, in 2013. That doesn't look good however you turn it around. Its even behind Bada, behind Asha S40. And in 2013 new rivals hit market.
